Sendmail Masquerading Question
OK, Followed Doug's SxS step and produced in about an hour or less, a fully functioning sendmail. All but the tweaking...which has turned out to be far less satisfying. From mail clients on other hosts on my home network, email composed in say netscape goes out with the From values set (in netscape) staying as is, and all seems to be working OK. Whenever I send mail from the sendmail machine, which is behind a firewall w/ port forwarding, the address is always [EMAIL PROTECTED] which only exists in my little network...although I have the marchak.ca domain hosted outside, the only official/external NS records are www.marchak.ca and marchak.ca. So, domain masquerading sounded like what I was looking for. I have a domain through dyndns.org, which I put in /etc/mail/local-host-names and I can accept mail for marchak.homeip.net...cool. What I wanted to do was have mail sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which is what it would be when I am logged in locally to the box with sendmail running) to be changed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a imaps server running and I want to have all my mail bounced to sent to marchak.homeip.net so I can do away with outside web mail and just run my services myself...so I have no mailbox size limits except the ones I put on myself...and because I can. But no matter what combination of DM / CM / CG (shooting wildly at then end) I cannot prevent it from mailing out [EMAIL PROTECTED] when I send from the sendmail box. Which of course bounces as domain doesn't exist.

I've always had a bugger working with sendmail, but I had almost

I found an SRPM for postifix built by redhat, but it needs 'db4-devel'

So I built all the db4 rpms, which obsolete/conflict with the installed

So, my question is:
Can I safely force the db4-devel rpm to overwrite the db3-files it

If not, what to do? [ Please don't say learn sendmail ;) ]
My suggestion would be to d/l the SRPM and rebuild postfix using db-3.2 on
your system now. If you can't, I'd find a test box (one you can break),
try the above, then run some apps that were built against 3.2 to see if
they segfault.
Ciao,
David A. Bandel
from postfix.spec:
---
%triggerin -- db4
rm -rf %{ROOT}/lib/libdb*
%{copy_cmd}
copy /lib/libdb-4.0.so %{ROOT}/lib
copy /lib/libdb.so %{ROOT}/lib
---
---
BuildRequires: gawk, perl, sed, ed, db4-devel
---
So, I have db3-devel installed, all I need to do is update the
references and files in the above statements?
rpm -bb postfix.spec
Or am I oversimplifying this?

Incrementing Letter variables in bash
So far my searching hasn't turned up anything useful. Is there a quick way to increment a letter variable in a bash script? I am creating a script to automatically transfer files in a given directory by creating a dated folder (mkdir $(date -I), copy files into new folder and create a .log of the files using the output of 'ls'. The issue here is that in order to stick to an existing convention, more than one transfer in the same day has a '-a' or '-b' appended to the directory and .log file names. I've not been able to come up with a clever way to automatically increment the letter to be appended, for example if '-a' has already been taken for a given day. It's not the checking part that I have trouble with, it's incrementing a _letter_. Before I create some ugly monstrosity of a loop to do this, can anyone offer any hints? Scripting has never been my strong suit...I can read scripts quite well, but tend to complexify simple tasks due to lack of experience. -- Linux SxS [http://sxs.webhop.net] ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

Mutt is being a bad dog...
When I send mail using /usr/bin/mail , the messages are sent out using
the masquerading domain (from dyndns) I set in postfix as I expect.
But, when I send from mutt, it seems to do a lookup on the IP it's
coming from, and instead fills in the actual domain associated with my
IP address as assigned by my ISP, but not before it inserts the hostname
of the machine (behind my firewall). So I wind up with the wrong domain
name and a bogus hostname in the From: fields of my email.
I looked at my .muttrc (std SuSE 7.3) and can't see anything in there
that would cause this. After digging through the options for .muttrc
(holy $#!7 there are a lot!) I gave up...hence this email.
Attached is a copy of the .muttrc FWIW.

There are billions of dollars at stake. I fully expect that some day in the not too distant future, there will be a 'Microsoft Internet' and an Internet for the rest of us.

Well I am going to express a failure here, please I beg you not to be too harsh on me, I feel bad enoughg. I had a conversation with my grown son last night, was not real intelligent, oh well that is another issue. He was spouting the virtures of Windows, Office XP etc. I tried to explain the cost difference, availiablity and the ease of keeping your system in top computing shape. His answer, I do not have time for that crap. Where did I go wrong here? I feel so I think we all want a machine that we can just use. Linux may take more time to tweak to get it to where you like it, but it stays there and doesn't break. I see posts from people who are (and I have nothing against this, I just don't practice it myself) constantly replacing software.1.2.3 with software.1.2.4 and causing no end of grief for themselves and spending more time tweaking and building than using. Linux is like Lego, if you buy a package, you can follow the plan and build a little car/plane/boat, or like many Linux users, you can try and swap out the wheels/wings/hull for a slightly better but not necessarily more functional set. I think more emphasis on the fact that Linux _does_ work out of the box, and less emphasis on the tweakbility is what's needed.

OT Any routing gurus?
Here's the story...it has me stumped. I have a hosting provider handling my domain and email hosting. I can't reach them from home (Rogers Cable ex @home consortium), but I can reach them from anywhere else. When I run traceroutes I make it to within one host of the machine I am heading for...and then * * * * * * to 30 hops and nothing. My hosting provider tells me it's a problem with my ISP as they cannot do a traceroute back to my home machine either. Which sounds logical until I consider the fact that I can traceroute back to my home from elsewhere (school, work) etc. The problem seems to exist only between these two networks, anywhere else is OK. When I traceroute, from home and school and compare them, the last four hops are the same except for the machine directly in front my domain's machine, which is part of the same network, 1 or 2 IP's off of the hosts I can successfully route through. Is this most likely a routing problem? This is out of my league. I may not be making any sense as I am out of ideas and getting p!$$ed off...but I am not sure with who. If anyone has any bright ideas or would care to rack their brain on it, please feel free to offer up comments, or contact me off list. -- Linux SxS [http://sxs.webhop.net] ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

Obviously this is being driven by customer requirements. I know this is something that could be done by placing the mail server inside the office and running it ourselves, but, at present, they aren't paying me near enough to be doing this for them. Further complexifying the issue is the fact that the server would reside in an office over 500km (350 miles) away from us, and I don't want to bring up another remotely managed server if I can avoid it. Has anyone come across this type of service before? I am in Ontario and the project is going to happen in Quebec, so a provider in say Texas is no good, but I would merely like to confirm that it is an offered service by someone somewhere...for motivation to continue my search.

So, it looks like the dhcpd server sees my request, and responds, but
the negotiations break down.
Adding the -DH options didn't fix the problem.
Any insight appreciated.
On my install of eS2.31 and IIRC on all my Caldera installs, dhcpcd is
called from a script found in /etc/sysconfig/setwork-sccripts called
'ifup-dhcp'.
To make my dhcpcd work on @home I had to change the call to dhcpcd as
shown below by changing the -HD to instead tell the server the @home ID
was given 'cr##-a', and they would assign the IP according to
hostname supplied.
#/sbin/dhcpcd -HD $interface /dev/null || {
/sbin/dhcpcd -h cr##-a $interface /dev/null || {
You might want to try two things, using this script to call dhcpcd
(which is what should happen if you set it up using COAS, and the option
to supply your @home hostname, which Comcast may still be expecting. If
their windows install instructions include adding a specific 'computer
name' under Network Neighborhood - Properties - Ident. , this could
well be the case.

19 Rack Mounting Fasteners
Hi all, simple question I hope... We are in the process of integrating a group of engineers who were on-site with a customer into our office. I need to install some of the equipment they've brought with them into our server racks and I need fasteners to do this. I forgot to bring a sample with me, and although I can find nuts and bolts that will do the job, I'd like to get the correct size fasteners and I've no idea what size the bolts normally used are...anyone out there do this on a regular basis and remember what the size is? -- Linux SxS [http://hal.humberc.on.ca/~mrcn0031/sxs/] ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

If it's a full time machine, the cron scripts should take care of this, if it's not a full time machine, somewhere in /etc/cron.d you can probably find a script to do this /etc/cron.daily/aaa_base_clean_tmp ... in SuSE 7.1 or /etc/cron.d/Daily/40cleandir ... in COL eS2.3.1 ...yours should be something like this, distros vary. Have a poke about, most of these things have settings specifying how long to leave what files behind.

Early Bird Worm notifications bouncing.
Here's the story. I have EarlyBird running and detecting various worm attacks/attempts, and whenever it sends an email to notify the domain contacts, it is using the address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (with the correct values filled in). This web server is sitting behind a firewall (with a valid FQDN) and I need to have the nobody address changed to a valid address. I cannot seem to change this inside Early Bird, so I edited /etc/mail/genericstable as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] but the messages continue to bounce. Have I missed something obvious here? Sendmail is not my strong suit, so no laughing if I have. -- Linux SxS [http://hal.humberc.on.ca/~mrcn0031/sxs/] ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Both of these OS's (from SCO) install fine. I've read that COL also installs fine on machines like mine. I'm trying to determine what device '08:13' is, if it is my CDROM or the HD array. Any way to tell? After the Kernel panic, my system is locked and I need to power off.
